But theres more. They recently stated that the purpose of a CPO call requiring verification is to "ensure the sick leave benefit is administered consistently, equitably, and in compliance with the PWA." Ughhhh huh.

Right out of the chute they have 4 per-packaged "circumstances" for every pilot on the list: amount and use, and to make sure the benefit is administered consistently (everyone is subject to harassment), equitably, and in compliance with the PWA. Throw in another "circumstance" for good measure and it would nearly impossible to show lack of good faith.

Funny how the company wants to make sure the PWA is being followed in THIS situation. Thanks ALPA! Another win-lose!
Yep. And since "our" "union" did not insist on a definition of "good faith," (and glossed over this provision when pushing the TA on us) , it could mean almost anything.

Did the CP see you without a hat? Company doesn't like your gate latency compliance numbers? The possibilities are endless. They could all be "good faith" reasons to harass you on your next sick call. None of them are prohibited by the PWA.
